  • The long-awaited "Yellowstone" prequel series "1883" has come to its end, answering some of the pressing questions fans had since the beginning. The Paramount+ prequel ended up having a much more subdued and emotional tone than many fans anticipated, and some wondered how exactly it tied into the story of "Yellowstone."
    It all came together in the end, though, bringing closure to the characters and showing just exactly how the Dutton family ended up where they did. It also almost certainly made you cry if you watched it. So how did "1883" tie all the threads together? Here's the truth about the heartbreaking ending of 1883.

    I was blown away by Yosef’s admission while drunk, just before his amputation, of the true nature of his past. The entire time he presented himself as a pacifist carpenter. If you pay attention, and know your history, he was recounting his experiences, and trauma, fighting the French in the Franco-Prussian war, which took place in 1870. That was an amazing character revelation that goes totally unnoticed, and shows that he had more in common with the 3 civil war vets than they knew.

    I'm big on authenticity in westerns, and this I think is the best I've ever seen--in costuming, saddlery, landscape, and general history. Even the way the actors all ride like real cowboys, never touching the saddle horn. It's a shame this show hasn't got more recognition than it has, and I agree with all the great comments on this forum.

    • @robertsmith6408
      @robertsmith6408 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      And when they rounded up those 'wild' mustangs, many of which wore halters already. That was so 'authentic.' Just like the near non stop use of the f bomb. Did you watch any of 1923? The word was used, but not nearly so much. So for authenticity we have maybe the most vile curse word out there used to excess in the 40 years before. Then somehow cut back on until modern days. Yeah, that seems 'authentic.'
      To me it was a lot more likely that Dame Helen Mirren has a lot more respect for her legacy and the craft than to approve a script made up by woke Hollywood writers with no understanding of how to write emotions without profanity.
      This was not as bad as Deadwood, but had less 'authenticity' than Blazing Saddles when you actually wake up and look. Just another attempt to rewrite history and in doing so lower the moral fiber of the country. That is the recognition this steaming pile deserves.

    I was resisting for some time to watch these prequels of Yellowstone but one afternoon I went for it and I was pushed into the deepest depths of my own soul. Taylor Sheridan is some story teller!!!! Brilliant writing, excellent casting, locations breathtaking and that music ... Geeeeezus, how melancholic, haunting, and yet gentle is that main theme? I could cry my heart out at the end ... BRAVO ...! 1883 is A GEM in today's cinematography. If you let it it will take you on a cathartic journey. It goes into depths of one's soul. Certain Elsa's readings made me burst into tears and sob like a small child. Those people were brave, man. I mean BRAVE. The ending was heartbreaking but it was realistic, life is tough and unfair, and we all deal with it the best we can. Excellent job, everyone! Geeeezus, I am tearing up even now ...

    I binged the whole 1883 series about 4 days ago in one sitting, until 4:00 in the morning! I've never binged a series all the way through like this, but I couldn't stop watching it, WOW! SO GOOD! I have not stopped thinking about 1883 since. This series is so thought provoking and heart stirrng, it moved me beyond words! This series is so well done, probably the best series that I have ever seen. From the beginning, it put me through a plethora of emotions from laughing to crying, to hope, to cheering, to yelling at the TV, but constantly yearning for more. The character of Elsa should definitely be recognized, she surely deserves to be. Everyone was outstanding, but she was a shining bright light!
    I started watching 1923 yesterday, but there are only 2 episodes out at the moment. I've only watched one of them, and it's looks promising. I can't imagine that anything can top 1883, but I'm ready! If you haven't watched 1883, I highly recommend it.....have a box of tissues close by! Enjoy! 🙂

My husband couldn't understand all her narrations, but I suppose it is one of those things that either you get or not. I agree.

      Having been a fan of the Yellowstone franchise since its infancy, these two historical prequels are brilliant! Both are well-researched, historically accurate, and beautifully developed in film to draw exactly the setting, characters, and plot trajectory which fulfilled the American dream of westward expansion. If these were novels, I would have assigned them as research projects for my college literature classes. Thesis possibilities are endless. I understand exactly how character development works, and take exception to anything used gratuitously………Hollywood’s overuse of graphic violence, current “trendy” expletives like the “f” word, and its relatively infantile view of their audience who obviously are so stupid they fail to understand sexual innuendo and, therefore, must be shown everything in minute visual detail. I didn’t find that here.
      In 1883, the men converse with appropriately rough language. James and Elsa Dutton have a much more subtle, yet equally moving relationship as do John and Beth 150 years later, the “f” word notwithstanding. That said, by the way, I’m expecting a decreasing volume, since that is becoming the “trend.” We GET it, already! Enough! Totally unnecessary in every doggone sentence! Definite decrease in 1923, so keep up the good work, Taylor! 🤗
      The development of the poignant relationship between Thomas and Noemi is so touching, almost sweet and innocent, a lovely, delicate touch in a very harsh time period. In 1923, Jacob and Cara know each other so well as to understand the other almost without speaking. This is the work of a fine writer and excellent storyteller.
      We won’t see the further development of Spencer’s and Alex’s relationship until the return of 1923 Pt 2 this summer. I’m trusting Sheridan not to disappoint us. These two series are two of the very best productions I’ve ever seen on television, perhaps surpassing eve Lonesome Dove, and I’m looking forward to more from this brilliant writer!

    The 1883 show is an honest look at the westward immigration of people seeking freedom and new lives in Oregon and the West Coast. It is not portrayed as it was by movies and TV shows of the 1950s and '60s that I grew up watching. The show was a more honest approach to the struggles of the settlers crossing the great plains. American Indian Tribes were presented; not all were savages or bad people, just people trying to protect their lands and way of life.

The way everyone knows all the killings that take place on the Dutton ranch but no one ever snitches because they have a brand. All the Mary Sues in both. A 90 pound girl is not going to be the best fighter, cowhand, ect. The German immigrants are shown as totally helpless. As if they couldn't learn to ride a horse on the way to Oregon. How did they get around in Germany? They were all farmers, How many farm raised kids do you know that can't ride a horse and this was in the 1800s., It would be like finding someone raised in the US now that can't drive a car. There are a few but not many and you could certainly learn to drive before you would walk to Oregon. It takes a hour to learn and a few full days in the saddle to become good at it.

      I was moved by this show. My husband and I loved watching Yellowstone. We both just couldn't stop watching old Westerns, Gunsmoke, old Western Movies, Free Grazers, etc. So to see a 21st century Western like this, just was so satisfying and we binged, or I binged while he slept and would happily re-watch with him!! We just couldn't get enough! I believe we had just started watching season 4 of Yellowstone, or we were about to begin it, when he passed in early January of this year, of a massive heart attack.
      I can't stop watching Yellowstone at night. I don't sleep well, so I turn it on and grieve for him. Night time is harder than during the day, although there have been days and nights of lying in bed, in a row, watching Yellowstone. His favorite Western for the 21st century. For that reason.
      1883 and Yellowstone are epic!! And you may have to watch it over and again to catch the clues as to who's who, where's where, and what's what!!

I don’t even know how many times I’ve seen each episode, of every season, of Yellowstone & 1883….& I’m doing the same w/1923!! I find little things I’ve missed, previously. But, I love that I do that!! I learn soooo much by being a binge watcher…paying very close attention!! ((ONLY w/Yellowstone, 1883 & 1923, though. AND, if another series off-shoot 6666(Four Sixes Ranch in TX..which Taylor Sheridan purchased!):
      The reason for the “hummingbird on the beach” at the end, w/Shea aka Captain, was(really needed to pay attention for this) the dress that Elsa was wearing when she was shot w/a LAKOTA arrow(NOT Comanche arrow-Elsa’s husband, SAM was Comanche) had blue hummingbirds alllll over it…if you see it again? Watch for it😉 When John was holding Lee, underneath a tree, after he was killed, he(John) said that they’d just rest a while & then pick a spot. John looks up, after a bit, & sees a bird on the ground-Lee was buried under that tree. Also, I believe it was after the huge attack on the Dutton’s…Kayce had just come out of the brush in camouflage & was talking to his father. Beth was sitting outside w/a shotgun. The wind chimes were really annoying her, so, she shot them(lol). Then, a little bird lit on the back of a chair, singing away. Beth lifted the shotgun toward the bird. The bird flew off, & Beth said,” Smart bird…” Same thing Elsa had said “You birds sure are smart..” (LOVED IT).
      When Elsa was in her father’s arms, dying, her 1st memory was the birds getting worms after it rained. It alllll ties in between Yellowstone & 1883. BRILLIANT!!!! And now, 1923…absolutely as good as 1883. Elsa still narrates, as she did on 1883.
      Oh!! And, when the construction guys were digging for the airport, the one guy found a Buffalo skull that was painted & then a human skull-THAT was where the Lakota had buried their Chief, & James Dutton(Tim McGraw) gave his permission to bury him there, & given them a steer because they were starving.

    I see the stuff that is leading up to future events or "Yellowstone" and it's awesome to see or hear these stories lead to "Yellowstone" Writer Taylor has an insight that I believe happened in the early 1800s, which was hard by any means! People think they have it hard in today's world. Can you imagine what that was like? You have nothing like you have today. Bathrooms, showers, and food is not the food we eat today! There are antibiotics, and there's so very much everyone available in today's world.
    I loved this show. I love Yellowstone and look forward to binge-watching Yellowstone. But when I watch, I imagine I was there. But I'd like a 🚿 shower. Eat good food. Have a home with heat and air conditioning. So many things!!
    Thank you Taylor for showing me what it is like to live in these years, or the years they are showing in Yellowstone. We should be grateful 🙏 pray for our country and do our part in life!! Fight for our country and not make it possible to NOT HAVE a war! Because it's possible every day.
    Don't stop Taylor, let these people know how to prepare. War could be upon us with what Putin is doing! And it feels like (I know feelings aren't fact!) Biden is getting us into a war soon. Maybe I shouldn't put it all on Putin, though he sounds like he is not, or he has a solution, but Putin is a puppet. He's not well and forgets and acts like he is on some kind of meds. Ones that make him calm and undisturbed by anything!! He laughs, smiles, and acts like a school kid that doesn't know what or loses his memory. He reads the Prompt.

    It depicted life in remote areas of 1883 properly. There were no medicines to speak of, and little law. People didn't live very long for a host of reasons. A simple infection now could easily be fatal back then. It was much closer to reality for that time period than most depictions. Lonesome Dove did a great job of that too. My ancestors traveled by ship from England to New Orleans. Then river boat to Galena, IL. From there they traveled by Ox drawn wagons to southwestern WI. There was only one death among them, a 12 year old son of one of my patriarchs died from Cholera while on the river boat. They simply pull over at the next landing, buried him a grave along the river with a wooden cross and kept going. It was 1849. Shocking they only lost one person really.

    If Taylor can repeat this miracle with 1923, he will have etched his name into a very small cadre of writers who can make me care enough about characters in a work of fiction to actually shed a tear. I suspect that many of us can see which character is likely to meet with an untimely end, so I wont ruin it for others, but Sheridan has assembled enough villains to wipe out the entire Dutton family or what's left of them at this stage. My only regret is that we need 10 more like him ;)

Not because that fort "doctor" told them. And Noemi's kids didn't blame her for their father's death, if it was anyone's fault it's Margaret's sister's, they didn't know how to talk to here cause of how much she struggled to keep them alive.

    Blown away with this 1883 cinematic journey. Life, death and every joyous yet somehow cruel thing in between. Never cared much for McGraw's music but was pleasantly surprised by his performance. Loving, distant, ruthless, stoic, and compassionate all at once. It's hard to fathom that with all the "advancements" we've made as humans, life still remains just as cruel and fleeting as it was back then. Sad ending. But that makes for a "story that sticks to you like a eyeball on cactus" to quote James Earl Jones in "Grim Prairie Tales." Well done all around.

    Once they said the land will go back to them in 7 generations it seemed too evident that will mean Tate. If Monica is descended from that tribe, which I believe she has alluded to, then that will be another way for the land to go back to their people. Tate would be the 7th generation also, so it seems too obvious but sometimes that is the way it works out. Sits right in front of us the whole time. That could also connect to why John did not want Kayce to have a child with her and was willing to go so far as to brand him over it.

    • @davewoolever9556

      JD has now placed the land in a conservation easement. He could eventually lose the land as he can not develop it and won't be able to pay any future taxes if the cattle or horse industry does not turn profitable for him, so if that happens, the land in the easement is fully protected and returns to nature forever unobstructed. That is perhaps what the Crow always wanted and *could* fulfill the prophesy as none of the Native Nations believed in personal land ownership.

There's family tress online now with everything laid out. As soon as I heard that Chief in 1883 say his family would get it back in 7 generations I did the math tho and it could be Tate. Unless there's some super weird twist where Jamie's mother turns out to be native and from that tribe then his child could, possibly, be an option.

      It's all a bit sketchy where the 1923 sequel will pick up the story. What is clear is that it will follow the Duttons through the prohibition era and the great depression on through the 1930s. It appears Harrison Ford will be the patriarch of the family. But I too would of like to seen how the couple settled in to their new homestead which obviously will become the Dutton ranch referred to as Yellowstone. Certainly could of added another episode or two in the 1883 prequel for sure.
      Nevertheless, it's a great series and I can't wait to see 1923 and maybe it'll start out connecting where 1883 left off 👍

      Seen all of Yellowstone and was crazy for it from the get go. Told my family bout it every week til they got hooked too. Had to cancel cable, land line phone and internet a year and a few months ago due to finances but I bought the Yellowstone dvds and just recently bought and watched season 4. My son in Denver told me about 1883 and said the part played by Sam Elliot was written by someone who had known me most of my life. I still aint seen any of 1883 yet but if my only child says a part played by Sam Elliot personified ME in any way, shape or form I cant wait to find that dvd too. Ive loved purdy much everything Mr. Elliots ever done so you cant give me a bigger compliment...other than a little kid in Target gave me a couple years ago. He was ridin in a shopping cart with his dad pushing it. They came around a corner, he looked up at me with BIG eyes and said "HI SANTA! " Im 64, 6ft 1in tall and go about 285 with a full slightly untrimmed white beard and mostly white and gray hair. He had to have been 4 or 5 at the time and I think it was around September. I got as big a laugh out of it as his dad did. He said sorry bout that but I said " Dont be...probably the best compliment I ever got so my boy telling me something done by Sam Elliot was me from the get go, I cant wait to check it out.
